]]>Hyaluronic Acid
Found naturally in the skin cells, this superpower acid is the key to smooth, supple, hydrated skin. Famed for its water holding abilities (scientists claim that half an ounce of hyaluronic acid can hold up to 200 fluid ounces), applying this daily will quickly lead to softer, glowy skin. Even if you have oily skin, moisturizing is key to avoid the over-production of sebum. Track down a moisturizer with this key ingredient, and see the difference it will make to you.
Retinol
Essential in supporting the development of new skin cells, retinol is now a go-to ingredient for its ability to exfoliate and impart a healthy glow. It’s important for newcomers to retinol, especially those with sensitive skin, to begin with a low dose, as this ingredient can irritate the skin. Apply at night, and remember to wear sunscreen in the day.
Vitamin C
This important ingredient can protect your skin from environmental stressors, especially important if you live in a city. It also has some anti-aging benefits, as it brightens and blurs fine lines. Try a daily serum with vitamin C, and don’t forget to eat plenty of citrus fruit.

]]>Materials:
- A plain plastic tray
- Small cups (4 for the legs)
- Strong adhesive glue
- Spray paint
- Sandpaper (light grit)
Instructions:
- Begin by sanding the surface slightly so the paint adheres better. Then, wash and dry well.
- Apply a strong adhesive glue to the rim of each cup and press them onto the corners of the bottom of the tray. Allow the glue to dry according to the instructions on the package.
- Once the glue is dry, choose a spray paint color. Spray paint is preferable for its smooth finish, but make sure to do this step in a well-ventilated area or outdoors. Apply the paint in thin, even coats to avoid drips.
- After the paint has fully dried, you can add a clear sealant for extra durability, especially if you anticipate your tray will frequently come into contact with water.
- Style your DIY tray with lotions, perfumes, and toiletries to enjoy.
@woman.of.gold Im really proud of this one! It looks so expensive and the plastic plate was only £1.49 and the tealight holders 50p each so total cost is £3.49 (already had the paint and baking soda at home) #diy #homedecor #diytray ♬ Best of Beautiful – JAYBeatz

]]>The post Phototherapy for Your Face Explained appeared first on My Daily Magazine - Art, Design, DIY, Fashion and Beauty !.
]]>What is Phototherapy?
Phototherapy is a clinical procedure that involves exposing the skin to different types of light. It’s actually not a new concept. It’s been used for decades in medical treatments for conditions like psoriasis and vitiligo. Recently, its benefits in dermatology and cosmetology have gained attention, making it a popular option for facial skin care.
How Does Phototherapy Work?
The therapy uses varying wavelengths of light, including red, blue, and near-infrared, each with different effects on the skin. These lights penetrate different layers of the skin, triggering biological processes that help in skin repair and rejuvenation. Phototherapy is non-invasive and does not use UV light, making it safe for regular use.
Benefits of Phototherapy
Anti-aging is one of the biggest benefits of this kind of therapy. By stimulating collagen production, it reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, giving a more youthful look. It can also be good for acne treatment and reducing pigmentation.

]]>Start with the Bed
The bed is the centerpiece of any hotel room, and it should be the focus of your bedroom too. Invest in a high-quality mattress and consider adding a plush mattress topper for extra comfort. Choose crisp, high-thread-count sheets, a cozy duvet, and a selection of pillows in various sizes for that lavish, inviting look.
Lighting
Lighting is another key element of setting the mood. Opt for layered lighting with a combination of overhead, task, and accent lights. Bedside lamps with warm-toned bulbs can also add a cozy and intimate atmosphere.
Color Palette
Most luxury hotels use a neutral color palette to create an elegant space. Experiment with a neutral color palette in your room. You can always add bright accessories like cushions, throws, or artwork.
Declutter and Organize
And, finally, spend a bit of time organizing. Clutter is the antithesis of the hotel experience. Aim for a minimalist approach with tidy, well-organized spaces.

]]>Get Stuck In
Strange as it sounds, using up some energy on some household chores as soon as you walk in can be a good way to use up any pent-up frustration and settle into your evening. Choose a task you don’t hate – maybe the vacuuming, or washing up – put on some music and give yourself ten minutes to use up some of that leftover energy. The fact that you’re getting some housework done at the same time can only leave you feeling positive and productive.
Head Outside
Unless you have a physically active role that’s based outdoors, the chances are you’ve spent most of the day cooped up inside staring at a screen. Make the most of your free time and head outside, even for just a stroll around the block. Getting some fresh air is a great way to soothe your mind and body, and the exercise will also head off any lingering irritations or stress.
Follow A Recipe
Unless you’re back in super late from work, a good way to make the most of an evening is to set yourself the challenge of following a detailed recipe and whipping up something delicious for yourself. Sometimes, getting lost in the physical tasks of cooking can be a great way to settle our minds and bodies, and nourishing yourself with tasty, wholesome food is a great act of self-love which can set a positive mood for the evening.
Don’t let a bad day at work spoil the rest of your evening – follow these tips and let yourself calm down and relax, so you can enjoy your free time.

]]>Prioritize Sleep Hygiene
Create a conducive sleep environment by keeping your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool. Invest in blackout curtains to block daylight, use earplugs or white noise machines, and set the thermostat to a comfortable and cool temperature.
Develop a Consistent Schedule
Aim for consistency in your sleep-wake cycle, even on days off. This helps regulate your body’s internal clock and enhances the overall quality of your sleep.
Strategic Napping
If you need to nap during your night shift, keep it short—around 20-30 minutes—to avoid grogginess. Plan your naps strategically, ideally during the first half of your shift.
There are many strategies for sleeping during the day to prepare for your first night on shift. One is to go to bed late the night before and sleep as late as you can the next day. The other strategy is to go to bed at a normal or early time the night before and wake up early, accomplish some tasks/chores or work out, and then take a nap before your shift.
Optimize Nutrition
Choose balanced meals that support sustained energy throughout your shift. Avoid heavy, greasy foods close to bedtime, and consider a light, nutritious snack if hunger strikes during the night.
Mindful Use of Stimulants
While caffeine can help you stay alert during your shift, limit its consumption towards the end of your work hours to avoid interference with your ability to fall asleep when you get home.
Block your Shifts
It is a good idea to schedule your shifts in a row rather than breaking them up if you can. This will make it easier to have a “normal” sleep schedule on your days off.
Exercise
Develop a workout routine that works for you such as low energy and weight lifting on the days when you’ve worked the night before and high energy/cardio workouts for the mornings of your first night shift of the week.
Working the night shift is challenging, but having a good support system and prioritizing sleep is key!

]]>Build up to longer, slower runs gradually
When you’re working towards a running goal it can be tempting to try and cram as many miles in as possible, or to try and work on your speed at every chance you get. But this will likely lead to over-exhaustion and perhaps even injuries which will set you back. Instead, it’s better to build up gradually to longer and very slow runs that feel easy but accustom your legs to longer distances, whilst also developing your cardio fitness.
Do occasional interval training
It’s good to work in some occasional high-intensity training to complement your long-distance training. This could involve getting on a running track and running a lap at a fast pace, and then resting. If you repeat this process 4-5 times, that will be a good way to make some big improvements to your speed and overall fitness. It’s important however to not do more than 1 or 2 speed sessions per week if you are new to running.
Do cross-training
A great way to develop your cardio fitness and long-distance running performance whilst reducing your injury risk is to do other forms of exercise. Swimming is great as it is very low injury risk, whilst cycling is good for developing your leg muscles.

]]>Dedicated Workspace
First and foremost, create a dedicated workspace that is free from potential disturbances. Find a quiet corner or room where you can work without interruptions. This physical separation from distractions sets the stage for increased focus and concentration.
@johndelony If you have anxiety, unanswered for task aren’t helping. Whether it’s a messy room, a million unread text messages, a desk full of paperwork needing to be done, or all of the above and more, When you’re surrounded by clutter, your body feels it. Your mind feels it. Your anxiety feels it. Putting off all the little things eventually creates an overwhelming head space of distractions, An environment of chaos that steals from your peace. Don’t let the chaos take over, take control of your space. Delony #managinganxiety #anxietytips #anxietyawareness #clutterfreeliving #cleanspacehappyplace ♬ original sound – Dr. John Delony
Minimize Digital Distractions
Next, minimize digital distractions. Silence your phone, close unnecessary tabs on your computer, and use website blockers to prevent access to time-wasting websites during work hours. Consider using productivity apps or browser extensions that can help you stay on track and limit distractions.

Try Time-Blocking
Another effective technique is to implement time-blocking. Set specific periods of time for focused work and allocate tasks accordingly. During these time blocks, commit to working on a single task without multitasking or succumbing to distractions. Prioritize important tasks and break them down into manageable chunks to maintain a sense of progress and accomplishment.
Practice Mindfulness
Additionally, practicing mindfulness and adopting meditation techniques can significantly improve focus and attention span. Taking short breaks to clear your mind, breathe deeply, or engage in quick stretching exercises can recharge your energy and help combat mental fatigue.

Create Clear Boundaries
Finally, establish clear boundaries with colleagues, friends, and family members. Communicate your work schedule and let them know when you are unavailable or need uninterrupted time. By setting these boundaries, you can minimize interruptions and create a conducive environment for uninterrupted work.
